About Gov. Daugherty Winchester Colbert, Chickasaw Nation
Parentage uncertain:
Daugherty (Winchester) Colbert although listed as a son in the large family of Levi Colbert which consisted of twelve sons and eight daughters and although he was reared as a member of that family, a verification impels the conclusion that he was not, in fact, a son of Levi Colbert. He is reputed to have been the natural son of an itinerant, adventurous white man by the name of Darrity.1 His mother was a Chickasaw Indian woman and he was born in the Tombigbee River country near Cotton Gin Port, Monroe County, Mississippi in 1810. In his early years, this child of romance was received by adoption into the family of Levi Colbert

"Daugherty (Winchester) Colbert although listed as a son of the large family of Levi Colbert, and although he was reared as a member of that family, a verification impels the conclusion that he was not, in fact, a son of Levi Colbert. He is reputed to be the natural son of an itinerant, adventurous white man by the name of Darrity. His mother was a Chickasaw woman. He was received by adoption in to the family of Levi Colbert.
"He was invested with the family name of Colbert, his own father's name being employed as his first name. But Darrity Colbert soon became Daugherty Colbert, occasioned not only by a similarity in the names but also probably influenced by the fact that a near relative of Levi Colbert bore the name of Daugherty Colbert. The name Winchester Colbert was adopted by the young man some years later and so through life he sometimes was recognized as Daugherty Colbert and at other times as Winchester Colbert." (Memserve, John Bartlett, Chronicals of Oklahoma, "Governor Daugherty (Winchester) Colbert", vol.XVIII, p.348).
Recent "Colbert" Scholars believe that he was the son of Samuel and Nancy (Frazier) Colbert, (a younger son of James Logan Colbert), and upon Samuel's early death, he was adopted by Levi Colbert. (See, Martini "Chickasaw Empire").
He removed to Indian Territory in 1837 and settled with his family near where Canadian, Oklahoma is located today. The Colbert home was on the south side of the Canadian River near North Fork, a community of the Creek Nation. Later in life he moved to Pontotoc Co., Indian Territory. In August of 1858, he became the second Governor of the Chickasaw Indian Nation. He was re-elected in August of 1862, and again in August of 1864. He was the Chickasaw Governor during the period of the Civil War.
